If you are getting paid you may have to pay back that money.
So if your Group send you to a GCLP Language Course, get your S1 to change your CORE language to that NEW language. This will "FIX" the problem.
Your Group Language Center and Bn S1 most likely does not know this.

MG is absolutely right. Make sure your ORB/ERB reflects the language you are testing in. All of the SFG(A) S1s have FAILED to take care of their Soldiers when it comes to Language (and a lot of the other pays too). There's a new Command Language Policy coming. It looks now like it will be released just before or ICW the upcoming Commander's Conference (03-05 Apr 12). Language is a VERY hot topic right now.
Sidenote - don't waste time learning any language that is not already designated for your SFG(A). You will not be given any resources to maintain it. That will most likely include pay. E.G. - If you go to 19th SFG(A) and want to learn Spanish and French "because they're easy" be prepared for disappointment.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
